Excellent pen and ink work, Tim. I love especially the eye and detail work on the wing. Thank you for the update, have been wondering if they left the nest. They’ll be out building their own nests in a few years, meanwhile getting into trouble at every turn (however birds do that!). Awesome shots, thanks

What beautiful artwork! This Osprey family has been so fun to follow with you. I wouldn’t want to leave a handsome looking nest like the one they have either, especially if mom and dad keep coming back with food. Teenagers! 🙂

Thank you Megan. They are teenage osprey I believe. They get the free goodies, but all they do is complain. It’s like they think they are owed the royal treatment. Kind of like a certain gray feline we know!

Wonderful, wonderful drawing! Thank you so much for sharing this story I would have never seen, here. I get to watch the young robins return to nest in my pine tree where their nest is too small for them any longer. They are practicing flying and it has become rather noisy in my backyard, daily.

What a lovely family? Ospreys are so rare in the UK, but one pair breeds in the smallest county of Rutland and their progress is followed avidly by nature-lovers hereabouts. You are very lucky to have them so close. A magnificent bird and you have captured them and their lives wonderfully. 🙂

I suppose I do draw birds a lot. They are a good subject to do. I also have some other wildlife to post. I do prefer pen and ink, and watercolor. I always like the strong contrast with pen and ink over pencil. I do some pencil work, but mostly pen and ink, and watercolor.
